MadMax makes 4th in Nab Tower Race

Just out of the chocolates, but still a gratifying result in flooky conditions that made our french tactician sweat a bit.

The North Sails Nab Tower Race was race 4 in the JOG Offshore Championship held on Saturday 24 April 2004 , a 32 mile race, which whilst the breeze was on, looked like getting us in for afternoon tea. However, as the breeze died 3 miles off the Nab, and then the tide turned, we knew we were in for the long haul...

Once round the Nab, kite up, we romped home and congratulated ourselves for sticking it out. However, we also knew that those who didn't make the rounding of the tower before the adverse current kicked in would need all their staying power to finish the race.
